I always say to myself...I will write on my blog tomorrow. And then I don't. Blake is screaming her head off right now, so I am shifting into mommy mode. But here are some pics until I can think straight and write something interesting.

Alex thought Blake said I love you a little too soon and didn't say it back so it hurt Blake's feelings a little bit.
Tummy time.
What in the heck??
Blake's poop.
Blake in her super cute snow boots.
Blake and her big sister Lola.
The demand for pics is amazing...thanks to all those Blake fans out there...she loves you!!!
Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil...
Lola loves being a big sister...so much that she started nibbling on Blake's feet last night.
This was before she pooped in the towel...trust me, you don't want to see that pic!Here are some pics of our sweet girl! I'll update when all the Christmas craziness is over!
If you want, you can vote on her middle name, here are the top three choices:
Addison
Adalyn
Elizabeth
More pictures to come!
No baby yet...but I am done with school until March. That seems weird. Especially since there is no baby yet. But whatever.
Ryan and Jonathan did everything except the tile! They did a fabulous job!I know most of you are used to me sucking at keeping up with my blog but I still feel like I need to apologize. So...sorry. I have come home almost everyday for the last two-three weeks and sat on my butt on the couch. So there is really no reason for me not to walk into the spare bedroom, sit down at the computer and create a new post but it just didn't happen.
Obviously, I am still pregnant. I really didn't want all my posts to just be about pregnancy so maybe that is why I haven't posted lately...since that is ALL I think about. I get a break at school...I have to think about what I am going to teach and I have to think about not hurting some of my students and I have to think about not being mean to my coworkers everytime they say "You're still here???" (No, idiot face, I am not here...that's why I am still big and pregnant and standing right in front of you) So I do get to think of some other things during the day but when I get home all I think about is when she is going to get here.
At Thanksgiving we all picked days that we thought Blake would arrive. My day is tomorrow. I don't think it's going to happen. I feel pretty good. I have been having some contractions, mainly in my back, but nothing that is going to lead to a baby being forced out of a tiny opening. Oh yeah, I've been thinking about that a lot too. God has been teaching me about a lot about patience and giving up control these last few days. So for now, I sit calmly waiting for her arrival. I will not be bitter if she does not come tomorrow. I will not be bitter if she does not come tomorrow. I will be bitter if she comes on Ryan's day...January 3rd. Thanks Ryan. I love you babe. Even though that is a really stupid guess.
I have been reading many blogs of people who were in Abilene or surrounding areas during the grrrrreeeeaaaattttt snow day on Thanksgiving. But I bet you didn't get to experience the snow in a pair of these...
You shouldn't be jealous. I did look really hot, though.
We had a really exciting pre-halloween extravaganza at H & J's. Sorry I am a little late posting these. We decided to go over to their house for chili and pumpkin carving and then Ryan thought of dressing up. The only rule was that the costumes had to come from something in your closet. Enjoy...
You might not want to enlarge this picture because Ryan is wearing a pair of my maternity shorts and I can't promise a family friendly picture if you get too close!!!!
Yes, Lola got to dress up too!! This is actually a pair of kid's pajamas. She hated it...
Here is my 9 week countdown pic. Please don't look too closely at my sicko roots (thank you prenatal vitamins) or my morning face. Ryan decided he wanted to take this before I left for school at 7:00 am.
And yes, ladies as you can see, you made the photo!
This was the greatest idea ever so you can steal it if you want to. Each couple decorated a onesie or a hat for Blake. There were some really awesome ones!!! She will wear them all!
